Hello,

I have a problem where when I call up modal forms (usually on button click event) they hide behind the Inspector window. The user is then convinced that the application is hung, and since they cannot interact with it in any way, crahs it, and start from scratch.
I saw an earlier post where this was happening to a message box, and the work around was to use the User32.dll messagebox. I need to use custom controls on the form, so message box is not a workable solution for me. How do I work around this problem with the form?

I am using ADX for .NET 2007, C#2005, OL2002

TIA

Alex
